What is this?

Just paid a fiver for FIFA and get this message.

So what does this mean?

What is Authorised for use?

What should I look for in the app store?

How can I know this in avance?

I've been an apple user for years and just bought my first andriod tablet never had anything like this with apple.

Finally how do I get my 4.75 euros back from google?

Hey thanks for quick replies.

It's a tablet from amazon.

bought FIFA 12 a few hours ago but was too busy to test it as it took ages to download just left it running and installed then had to go out.

So well past and 15 minute limit it took longer than 15 mins to download.

They store recommends reinstall so i'll try that.

My tablet is on 4.0.2 version of andriod.

If it doesn't work again then I'll ask for a refund.

The play store on the PC says it is compatible.

yes it's i cheapo chinese version but i got my 4 euros 75 eurocents back from google so all is again well in the world

Ahh i'm intrigued what do you mean isn't approved?

ie not guaranteed to work?

And open version so is there other versions of andriod and do I need to mess around with the software to get apps to work?

All seems very linux like.

Ah so it's EA's fault.

Think i'll try to install PES then if it's available.

The tablet is a 1GHz 8GB version it should be able to handle games made for mobile phones.
